pcnsion OF the rules at any time when
he could get the floor for that purposs,
Tut the mater Of recognition rested on
!irely in the discretion OF the Chair !;
but at this stage Of the session the Chair
thought il TO be his duty to give the
right of way to the appropriation bills.
which must be passed in order TO avoid
an extra session. The Chair therefore
would not enter into the general bust
ness of recognition Of the motions 10
suspend the rules until the approprn-
ton bills were disposed of, but the
Chair having recognized the gentleman
from Missouri, the motion of that gen.
iIcman was now in order. The bill was
then read.
Mr.. O'Neill, Of Missouri, said that
the House in it's wisdom had blended
tie subjects of agriculture and labor
The moment bill was presented with
a COW print upon it it was passed, but
when the Committee on Labor endea-
yored to secure action upon bills re-
latinq TO labor it was met with obiec-
tons. He protested against this unfair
treatment, and ut every opportunity he
would ask the House TO vote down
those unfortunate men who were ruin
ing themselves by objections.
Mr.. Hatch's motion to suspend the
rules and pass the bill was agreed to by
n vote of 1872 to II.
Mr.. Burnes, Of Missouri, from the
Committee on Appropriations, reported
the deficiency appropriation bill, and
il was referred TO the Committee OF the
Whole.
MIR. Townshend submitted the con-
ference report on the invalid pension
appropriation bill, and twas agreed to.
r. he only point of difference was in re-
card TO the provisions for offices OF
pension agents. As agreed to the bill
appropriates $4,000 for the rent of
such offices, and requires the Secretary
OF the Trearury to furnish quarters in
public buildings for the occupancy OF
the pension agencies, when possible
The private business having been
dispensed with, the House went into
Committee of the Whole.
The committee, after debate, adopted
an amendment appropriating 5000, 900
for repairs to the Hartford, Kearsage,
Trenton, Swatara, Thetis, Nipsic, Rich
mond, and Enterprise. Pending fur
Their consideration of the bill the com
mittee rose.
c. II. Page, recently elected repre-
sentative from the Second congressional
district of Rhode Island, appeared at
the bar Of the House and took the oath
Of Office, being greeted with applause
from the Democratic side.
Nr. Herbert asked unanimous con-
sent that the session of the House be
extended until the consideration of the
naval appropriation bill was completed.
Mr.. Wolford, of Kentucky, objected,
and, upon motion of Mr.. Herbert, by
vote of yeas III, nays 100, the House,
at !: 80, adjourned, thus dispensing with
the usual Friday night session for pen
sion bills.

Liquor TrafIi in New York
rRv felegraph To tho Disnatch

New YORK, February pa citizens
mass-meeting was held in Chickering
Hall tonight to advocate high license
and restriction of liquor traffic. Ex-
Judge Noah Davis presided. On the
stage were DIR. Howard Crosby, ex-
Judge Enoch b. Fancher, Rev. w. r.
Huntington, John Jacob Astor, Os-
wald Ottendorfer, Cornelius n. Bliss,
Charles Scribner, and fifty others.
Dr. Crosby was the first speaker. He
said prohibition in this large city was
impracticable because un-American.
Local option was rule of the State, but
it would not do in this big town. High
license would work reform. Put the
license so high that only very few deal
ers could pay it, and then let only half
of these be licensed. Other speeches
were made in which the same ground
was taken.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-When

Der from Rhode Island, stood in front

Messrs, Springer, Barnes, Oates,

grasped his hand with great cordially,
AT his seat he received a great ovation.
The sight of Democrat representing
that little close corporation was in
tensely refreshing to the Democratic
side OF the House. The best part of
the Joke is the boast made at the time
the committee reported to send the
election back to the people. Just

sudden Death.

Yesterday morning, at Genoa,
Henry Vansickle stopped his team
in the road and hailed Jack Miller,
asking him if he was going to the
circus. 81 don't know" replied
Miller, sitting down on rock leis-
urely, as if about to discuss the
question. "Don't seem to care
much aboutit." Vansick'e spoke to
him again, urging him to go, but
got no answer. The man was dead
Heart sdisease was probably the
cause of his sudden demise. He
was we'll known in these valleys,
having married the widow of Hal.
Clayton, and at one time was said
to be in fair circumstances.

THE CIRCUS.
1t Performs to n Full House,
With n Good will.

1t Performs to a Full House,
with N Good will.
Robinson's circus drew a large
crowd to Carson. People actually
came from Bodie to see it. There
were beauties from Empire and
bellies and bucks from Genoa, and
cowboys from Esmeralda. 1t was
indeed a cosmopolitan audience.
The best society was mixed up with
Chinese women and Indians, and
all hands enjoyed alike.
The D'Alma family showed what
could be done on a bicycle. One
of the artists rides on one wheel
and then takes an ordinary wagon
wheel and makes good time on it.
Some of the Carson Bicycle Club
dropped dead on seeing him per-
form. The girl who contorted with
the hoops, the aeriel woman who
risked her neck over and over
again, the jugglers and the riders
were all on the top of the heap with
their work and nothing was SLOUGH
ed or botched.
The ladies in silk tights were
moulded after the most approved
fashion, to lower limbs-most
of 'em and the elephants, horses
and sword swallowers were the
very best. The only fault with the
show was the three rings. People
got cross-eyed trying to see them
all at once.
The clowns made no end of fun,
although James West seemed at
times like vast chestnut grove in
the sere and yellow Autumn. Low
